Reply #73: I knew our party had limits if they got the majority in 2006 [View All]

I knew that Bush would remember he could veto and has proven that time and again.

I also knew that impeachment would be useless if we got the majority because we did not have the 67 senators to kick the guy out.

I could care less about what's happening with the floor votes because of the tight majority we had that included support from some very moderate democrats and one 'independant democrat' (ie Lieberman)

But it's worth it for the investigations that are coming out of our committees. This is what the majority is about - a committee that is willing to ask the questions. The fact that we got Gonzales to retire is a direct result of the democrat majority. Had republicans retained the majority even in just one part of congress - the republicans would have given Gonzales a free pass.
